Linux and BSD are vastly superior to Windows in every way
By admin | April 24, 2008
Linux and BSD are vastly superior to Windows in every way. Don’t believe me? Read on, my friend. Read on and realize the folly of your MS ways.
The top ten list
#10 - Total cost of ownership ranges very low to nothing for Linux.
For that matter, ownership isn’t really a term you can apply to your Windows box. Microsoft allows you to use their software, for a hefty fee, and you are limited as to how you can use your software and what machines you can install it on. Want to install a new CPU in your Windows box? Sorry, you’ll have to “activate” your copy of Windows again. Want to actually be productive with Windows right out of the box? Sorry, it doesn’t come with any software, unless you count Notepad and Solitaire. But that’s another point entirely…
You can freely download Linux from thousands of different websites. If you don’t have a fast internet connection, you can also purchase it for a very, very small fee - usually not much more than the cost of the CD’s themselves plus shipping. Even if you purchase a full retail version of a major Linux distro, say Novell’s Suse or Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation, you’re still far short of the cost of Windows plus the cost of all the software you’ll still have to purchase to bring Windows up to the basic usability level as your average Linux distribution.
Bottom line: If you are only considering cost - Linux and BSD will always be cheaper than Windows in every scenario. Game over. Windows cannot compete in cost.

Technology vs Humanity
By admin | March 3, 2008
The use of technology facilitates our life. scientific technicalities save humans but the lack of humanity takes the life ….
we all are running after to get ourselves updated with technology and leaving behind the updating of humanity… In the hospitals, technology is available but the non-availability of humanity makes patients’ life miserable…
Technology makes the traveling faster but the absence of humanity increases the accidents..
The advancement of technology has equipped us with weapons but the absence of humanity snatch the tenderness of the hearts n increases the killings…
Classrooms are equipped with multi-media but still can’t produce the learning environment..
where r we heading?
what r we producing?
everyone needs to think over it especially parents, elders, teachers as well as youngsters.
Don’t u feel to upgrade the “humanity”

Search on Google anonymously
By admin | February 29, 2008
Did you know that Google stores a unique identifier in a cookie on your PC, which allows them to track the keywords you search for? They use this information to compile reports, track user habits, and test features. This cookie is active for a period of 2 years (previously Google’s cookie was set to expire on 2038!!) and all searches you make on Google for that period will be recorded and kept in their servers. It’s creepy when you think of all those keywords you typed into Google being locked up in their hard disks. You can prevent Google from tracking you by flushing out your cookies everyday. But if you have enabled “Remember me” on sites where you frequently log into like your email account or a forum, those informations stored on cookies will be lost too.
There is software called GZapper that can scan your cookie folder and remove only those cookies and data that helps Google in keeping track of you. G-Zapper helps protect your identity and search history. G-Zapper will read the Google cookie installed on your PC, display the date it was installed, determine how long your searches have been tracked, and display your Google searches. G-Zapper allows you to automatically delete or entirely block the Google search cookie from future installation. Read the rest of this entry »
